Galway seek ‘proper embrace’ in Leinster

Anthony Cunningham called for Galway to be ‘embraced properly into Leinster’ and to be allowed to play Championship games at Pearse Stadium after seeing another opportunity to play at home passed up by the Leinster Council.

Under normal circumstances, drawing with Dublin at Croke Park would mean home advantage for the replay but instead of Pearse Stadium next weekend, Galway will travel to Tullamore.

It’s a well worn trip from various ties there against Kilkenny since entering the Leinster championship though manager Cunningham believes it’s high time Galway were afforded full home comforts in their own county.
